You got a square deal on that price ! Lots of parts for those old
Hippie Buses up here.
I saw one on E-Bay awhile ago. It had the Camper upgrades ( pantry in
the side door, etc.), and was in pristine shape.No lifting roof like
the Vanagons, in that era. Neat old Vans, that's for sure. The
Gasoline heaters could be a pain, though.
Be sure to post a pic after painting !

------------------------------------

The one I have is a camper version but without the pop up roof.
It's the old style with the split front windshield.
Inside, there's an icebox type refrig, a water tank with a manually operated
pump/facet and the rear seat folds down to form a bed of sorts. * It's
pretty cool and runs perfectly.

The guy I bought it from was a mechanic who rebuilt the engine, replaced
floor pans and converted it from 6 volts to 12. * He was a decent mechanic,
but a terrible body and paint guy. * It needs to be sanded all down,
smoothed out and re-painted. *Actually has runs in the current paint, if you
look closely.

The year on the website is in error. *It's not a '66. *It's a '65 with a lot
of '66 parts.

Have you seen the one Chip Foose did on Overhauling? I'm not usually
a big fan of his stuff, but he did a pretty good job on this one.
They said it was a bitch to sand and prep... lots of little, complex
areas to get ready for paint. Take a look at:
